MY STORY 

Who am I?! Good question! I’m Mel Williams, the creator of the Unleash Your Inner Guitar Hero Challenge! What is a challenge? A challenge is a 5 day workshop were you, the soon to be guitar hero, learns everything he needs to learn in 5 days to become the best Guitar Hero that he can be! How is that possible you say?! It’s possible because in that 5 day, you are going to learn the 5 Essential Skillls that a Guitar Hero has to have in order for him or her to achieve those Guitar Hero dreams and finally become an AWESOME Guitar Hero!! Are you ready?! Good! But before we begin, let me tell you a little bit more about myself. 

I have been playing guitar for almost 30 years, and I’ve been teaching it for almost 20 years. Along the way, I have seen many of my students attend Berklee College of Music, and other Music schools around the country. I have also seem them become amazing performers themselves, in churches, on big stages, and even on virtual stages online to Facebook and Instagram audiences. I myself have studied with and played with some of the best musicians in the world! Some of them now are musicians in NYC, London, Philadephia, etc. While a classical guitar student at Mansfield University, I had the awesome opportunity to study with Matthew Slotkin (who has played on stages all over the world) and also play for and briefly study with David Russell, a Grammy Award winning Classical Guitarist (also an international artist), among many others in Guitar Master Classes. Between 2005-2006, I had the opportunity to play with Chad LB who himself has play with Taylor Swift, and Chris Botti, among many others. Chad has also become a virtual musical hero himself on Facebook, Youtube, etc. and he has a Jazz Curriculum that he teaches online and adds to regularly. 

I have also played with, toured with (East Coast) and recorded with the Mansfield Jazz Ensemble, and right after I finished at Mansfield I had the opportunity to play at several musical festivals, and other venues both big and small througout the Northeast, including NY and PA. I have since performed in many bands and solo in NY and PA, including Jazz Combos, R&B, Indie Rock, Jam Band, Bluegrass/ Celtic/ Folk, Italian, Christian Worship for weddings, private events, church events, and outdoor events. 

I want to help you to do the same!

WHY YOU WANT TO HELP PEOPLE

I truly believe that if you have a deep desire to finally achieve your guitar playing dreams, that have what it takes inside of you to Unleash Your Inner Guitar Hero. How can I say that?! What makes me believe that?! Because I’ve seen it happen time and time again. I’ve seen students who have come to me, either with some experience, a little bit of experience, or even a lot of experience, truly increase their abilities and more closely reach their potentional while studying with me. How have I achieved these results. By simply, listening to them, watching them, meeting them where they are at in their journey, assessing how I can help them, and then by constantly evaluating and reevaluating what’s working and what’s not and then pivoting my approach to meet their needs. I believe I have been given a gift to coach others and help them achieve their dreams. It’s not really about me. It’s about the student. I help you, the student, to look inside and see the potential you have so that all you need to do is allow the true you to emerge; the Guitar Hero that is inside of you that just wants to be acknowledged and set free so that you can finally achieve those dreams that you know have been given to you for a reason!
